What sort of idiocy is this.

Emory is not Harvard. Believe it or not, the drop off in prestige after the top 8 or so is massive.

GT CS meanwhile is prestigious.

No one said it was. But a top 20/25 is what it is. Emory's endowment is over 10 billion, GT not even 2. If Emory truly wants an full engineering program ( which they seem to be developing a partial one currently) they can do so. GT cannot afford a hospital. Also the outcomes for Emory CS is comparable to GT CS even though GTCS is ranked much higher.

No, a top 20/25 is nothing. There's no functional difference in prestige between a "top 20/25" and a top "40/45".

GT CS is top 10 in the country, and its engineering programs are regularly ranked in the top 3. Emory doesn't have an engineering program. Emory could spend their entire $10 billion endowment on engineering and still not be where GT is today.

Beginning to get UVA vibes from Gatech people.

Huh? The Emory boosters — who just had to try to derail a thread about GaT — are the ones radiating UVA vibes.

No they're radiating Emory booster vibes. Don't conflate the two.

I agree that the Emory booster(s) are more delusional than the UVA boosters, but they both have this weird compulsion to jump on any unrelated thread about another school in their state to insist that their school is better.

UVA and Emory are the best schools in their respective states. And GT students started it with Emory first, of you read the reddit post. Either way nothing said is a lie, what's delusional is thinking GT is prestigious in any way.

I'd argue GT is better than Emory in many areas and I wouldn't argue that UVA is the best in Virginia for everything a student might be looking for either.

That’s too bad for Virginia. UVA is so weak in STEM for a supposedly top 150 school.

+1

The VA area is government heavy. The skills needed are not really stem related. Regarding Emory and GT, yes GT is better for STEM but Emory is still the better more prestigious school. No one thinks VT is better than UVA even though VT is better for STEM. When Biden went to go visit Atlanta after the mass shooting he went to Emory to speak not GT. Says all that needs to be said really.

There are tens of thousands of people with STEM degrees living and working in the DC area.

Newsflash. The T in STEM stands for Tech.

I honestly don't have a dog in this fight, but the Emory boosters continuing to insist that Emory is "better" than GaT in departments that GaT doesn't even have is starting to make them look downright insecure.

But how is GT better when Emory doesn't have engineering at all? But they both have business and we know whose better there.

Wrong. There are 80,000 engineering jobs in VA. Those skills are absolutely needed in VA.
